Abstract
We recently developed an experimental device that allows us to observe the slip traces under stress at the atomic scale. Here, we report experimental results obtained at the latter scale on Nb single crystals making it possible to observe dislocation dipoles, which are evidenced by two slip traces formed by emerging moving dislocations of opposite Burgers vectors ending very close to each other. The geometry and stability of the dislocation dipoles were fully characterized in the framework of linear anisotropic elasticity theory and by atomistic simulations. This allows us to calculate a local opposite stress impeding dislocation motion of the dislocations of the dipole.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
